Chapter 3: Certify Coaxial Cabling
The optional DSX-CHA003 coaxial adapters let you use the
DSX-600 CableAnalyzer to certify coaxial cabling for network and
video applications.
Set the Reference for Coaxial Tests
To use DSX-CHA003 adapters, you must set the reference for
coaxial tests. The reference procedure sets a baseline for insertion
loss and resistance measurements.
Set the reference at these times:
 Every 30 days, at minimum.
 To ensure maximum accuracy of test results, set the reference
daily.
Note
It is no
t necessary to set the reference again if you
use different coaxial adapters.
To set the reference
1 Make the connections shown in Fi
gure 21.
2 Turn on the tester and the remote a minimum of 5 minutes
b
efore you set the reference.
